Right William, obvious enough but seemingly ignored in the haste
to put together a 'sexy/scary' scenario.

BTW - I just got another valid response to that "We would be
better off not meeting them" - which was "Why not?".

As he went on to say, mammals and reptiles have a common
ancestor and any meeting of minds could be very interesting -
and besides many/most dinos and all contemporary mammals were
omnivores or herbivores.

Even so, in an earlier discussion I did allow that
misunderstandings _might_ arise if we ever met a purely
carnivorous intelligent species. But now, having reconsidered
the evidence as seen on Earth, am inclined to think that pure
carnivores probably won't ever achieve self-conscious
intelligence.
